    TC Mid Travel +2, TC SUA, king shocks, Swamp Donkey/Rigid lighting, Mechman alt, SOS/Boztek armor, ATH Fab tiedown, full active JL/Audiofrog sound system, NOICO sound deadening EVERYWHERE. Up next: roof/bed rack + dry storage, skids, bumpers, fiberglass, power wire upgrade + frame grounds, LTO battery swap, air compressor, on board pressurized water, powered cooler, suspension seats, frame reinforcement, solid motor/trans mounts.
    looks like me every weekend! On GM’s you can set the standard bed tailgate at halfway closed by running the cables over the catch for the latch which eliminates the need for the Moto gate on my buddies 1500. The Moto gate goes every time when we load 2 bikes on the taco and the ATH fab tiedown makes securing the bikes a breeze. I also use fork braces for transport and soft ties on the handlebar of my bike to attach cam straps.

    That's why I put bungees between the hook eyes on my regular tiedown straps. Even if the strap goes slack, there's still tension on the hooks because of the bungees. Maybe I should upgrade to the gate clip style straps.

    I know this is old but you don’t blow fork seals from compressing the forks. You blow them from rocks hitting the tubes and knicking them. That creates a sharp edge which slices the seal as it compresses.
